Identify Relevant Content: Identify key concepts, insights, and strategies discussed during this course that are relevant to creating an effective HR Workforce Plan proposal for the manufacturing company in our course scenario. Consider how these concepts can be applied to address the organization’s needs and objectives.
Compile Portfolio Artifacts: Select artifacts from your coursework that demonstrate your understanding and application of HR management principles and practices. These artifacts may include written assignments, discussion board postings, and any other relevant materials. Ensure that each artifact reflects your learning and contributes to the development of your HR Workforce Plan proposal.
Create HR Workforce Plan Proposal: Based on the identified content and artifacts, develop a professional and detailed HR Workforce Plan proposal for the manufacturing company. Your proposal should review your strategies for new talent acquisition, employee relations, total rewards, DEI, and employee development programs recommended to the CEO and VP of Manufacturing.
New Company Policy Creation: In addition to the HR Workforce Plan proposal, create one new company policy that addresses a specific HR issue or challenge relevant to the manufacturing industry. Your policy should align with the organization’s values, mission, and strategic goals, and it should demonstrate your ability to develop practical solutions to HR challenges.
